David Karpoff, who died Oct. 27, was very important in my life and in the life of <em>Fresh Air.</em> In fact, he created the show, and came up with the name, when he was the program director of WHYY, back in 1973.<p><em>Fresh Air</em> was very different then. It was a free-form, interview and music show, broadcast only in the Philadelphia area, every weekday afternoon from 2 until 5. There was at least one other host before me, and David had sometimes hosted the show himself.<p>David hired me 40 years ago, in 1975, after <em>Fresh Air</em> host, Judy Blanc, moved to New York for a job.Wed, 04 Nov 2015 19:33:00 +0000Terry Gross81586 at http://apr.orgRemembering 'Fresh Air' Creator David Karpoff'Fresh Air' Bids Farewell To Melody Kramerhttp://apr.org/post/fresh-air-bids-farewell-melody-kramer
Today, reluctantly, we say goodbye to someone our listeners may have come to feel attached to, even though they've never heard her voice on our show.<p>Until about 3 years ago, we were so obsessed with getting <em>Fresh Air</em> on the air every day that we were virtually ignoring all the social media possibilities, and our website was pretty bare-boned.Fri, 27 Jul 2012 16:12:00 +0000Terry Gross15261 at http://apr.org'Fresh Air' Bids Farewell To Melody Kramer
